Does anyone actually use Opera? If so, why?

Yes. Browsers are divided between Blink, WebKit engines, and Gecko. Blink is behind Chrome, chromium, and their related spinoffs. Opera is just the best version of those spinoffs out there. It's like a better version of chrome.

Considering the Chinese buyout by a company known for malicious adware on android the announcement of built in ad-blocking seems highly suspicious. I bet it has a whitelist or inserts the Chinese companies ads in places.

What a fucking shitshow
I was so fucking pissed when they changed everything for worse. How do you go from basically having no need to install addons, to be fucking barebones. And even that statement is to far-fetched, because it lacked so many standard features.

Just use vivaldi or vanilla chrome. Opera coast is the only good product it has since it's probably the best UI a mobile browser can have, but thats about it.

How is that shitposting
>>53664451
I know.
The biggest concern about the browser is that it crashes like motherfucker. I have to use other browsers to browse luscious because it will stop working if it encountered a gif for some reason, yet is probably the best to emulate the feel that the original was going for.

They are hobbyists not a company, so the development is a mess. They promised tab stacking by the end of the year and last time I checked most of the pages couldn't even display correctly.
If it becomes a thing, it wont be any time soon.
>>
Is there some bug with the latest version? For me it's playing up with all page elements vanishing when random links are highlighted, then comes back after I move the mouse around and the font rendering looks different and more blurry. It only stated happening after it auto updated itself to 36.

Are you OP bumping your own thread?

I didn't make the picture m8, I just saved it for the opera part.
Also, the funny thing is, I do have a 2gb ram laptop with ganoo linus on it, and chrome and firefox are probably the best working browsers on it.

been using opera for a long long time now.

i'm not switching. i use chrome at work and it's meh.
>>
>>53664733
meh i don't know, Opera mobile is just so immensely practical in my eyes.

you can easily switch the layout for phone, tablet and even desktop use and therefore make most use of whatever screen size you have, tab switching is super comfortable and the general usability is really simple, even clearing browser cache and looking into the history is easy and comfortable

firefox and chrome for android are somewhat retarded in all these points

Yep. Coast doesn't even have a private navigation option, but browsing with that UI man...
Going back to safari after using it felt like a chore.

Yandex is just another Blink spinoff. Not as nice looking or featureful as Opera in my opinion.

Too bad there's no support for syncing or bookmarks.

I like Opera for Desktop but the Android version likes to reload the page every time I switch tabs, something that other browsers doesn't do. This made me crazy some weeks ago and I decided to change to UC Browser.
>>
>>53664919
wow everything is a botnet. why can people every respect our privacy?

>>53663983
I do.
To be clear, Opera, not Chropera.

NoScript and/or Adblock mess up Google Maps. Too lazy to get it sorted, so I use Opera only for that.
